You’ll also occasionally see your progress on the left side of the screen, letting you know that you’re, say, 75 percent of the way to the next Level. (We’ll talk about this more below.) That’s your indication that you’re earning XP.
Think of it like working out to get in shape.Īs you do XP-related activities, you’ll see little icons that correspond to Health, Stamina and Dead Eye appear on the right side of the screen. The more you run, the more XP you’ll earn. For example, Arthur needs stamina to run. If you want more of something, you’ll need to perform an action related to the thing that you want more of. Instead, Red Dead Redemption 2 uses what we like to think of as the Skyrim model. Unlike in many other games, you won’t earn XP from completing missions. The bigger the rings, the longer you can perform an associated action like aiming with Dead Eye. Earn more XP, and you’ll ascend to the next Level and your rings will grow around their Cores, giving you more Health, Stamina and Dead Eye. When you earn XP, you’ll reach new Levels, which also correspond to the rings that surround your Cores. Health, Stamina and Dead Eye Cores in the middle, surrounded by their rings.
